just finished my breakfast (and the final egg from the carton) and once AGAIN had a double-yolker! that was the 7th double yolk egg from the same carton! bought them at the usual local supermarket chain store.is this a record?

ps. breakfast was a poached egg over a toasted english muffin with havarti dill cheese. yum. (great for my lipids too)

Maybe those hens just like to yolk around a lot. Are they free-range and therefore happier than battery hens?

HIV is certainly character-building. It's made me see all of the shallow things we cling to, like ego and vanity. Of course, I'd rather have a few more T-cells and a little less character. Randy Shilts

Sorry, but it doesn't look very appetizing. And, wait... Is that a paper plate?

What you people need to understand is that this is not your Uppity MissP Fa Gras Escargot Organic Pampered Hen Egg sandwich on Vintage China ....This is a "Its 8pm and Im hungry what do I have in the fridge" and "oh lets just put it on a paper plate since all the dishes are clean" Egg sandwich (which taste the best btw).

Rosenthal made exact replicas of this typical german paper plate for sausage, in porcelain. And also exact replicas of this plastic water cooler cup, in a sort of thin pyrex glass.

an ex made off with the plates. I like mixing gin and tonics for guests in the cups cause I can often see a flash of "WTF he's serving drinks in plastic cups" before everyone smiles about what they really are.

It must have been a very limited series because I've never seen them again. Found them in a Rosenthal outlet deep in the mountains that only lasted a couple of years.

Usually I actively dislike Swiss and German porcelain, which is piled up in most thrift and "antique" shops in these parts, but they do nice gold and white classics sometimes.

I got rid of all my English china a few years ago. Kept only classic simple English teapots.

There is some 100 year old, and even mid-century, extremely psychedelic Swiss majolica that I covet and I stumble over it only 1 or 2 a year for a few francs. One time I found a mother lode in Biel but the lady knew its worth so it was unaffordable.

here's one for 50 bucks on Etsy. and its damaged!

I don't have a dishwasher either but I'd never, EVER, have a paper plate in my house. Much less a plastic cup. I mean seriously, it's so atrocious I have a hard time even expressing my disdain on the matter.

I used to have a set of these not in melamine, but white china, that I used use for garden parties. I'm not sure what happened to them when I moved. They're either still back in my old Brooklyn apartment or I gave them away.

In my family from the 70's on, breakfast or lunch requiring plates was mostly on paper. Only dinner was on "real" plates and some of those sets burned my delicate gay teenage retinas...

So plain white paper plates were a relief.

At least my mom had decent taste in drapes. Or is it curtains.

She even bought me florescent green plastic aligator skin curtains for my bedroom. I can't remember where we found those. Monkey Wards? Wards knocked off a lot of swinging mod designs. They had lots of knockoff Saarinen.

Actually that large white plate is neither vintage nor particularly expensive. The other stuff is though, but not exorbitantly.

If you drive a Mercedes you shouldn't be so fucking cheap. No twink likes a cheap fag date with shrunken balls and a needle dick. Much less one that eats copious amounts of fake tacos from a drive through.

Of course, since they all seem to easily steal your wallet on a monthly basis I suppose you have no choice but to use paper plates and plastic cups. Maybe that's Meech's issue too. I see a cute marriage between you two in the future.

And it is Saturday night so I went ahead and stepped it up and used the Leftover Thanksgiving Paper plates Yes, that is a picture of a Turkey on the plate.

Extra credit- That's a TV tray, and I ate shirtless with shorts and socks on in front of the TV.

You're welcome.

How utterly cute. Not.

Here's how I picture you, except that I'll give you a very chic wife-beater, cause I can't fathom the thought of you without a shirt on. Manboobs might be considered too pornographic for this classy thread.

Now you're welcome.

PS: I'll bet you have a color wheel to go with your 6-ft. aluminum tree.

I want one. This is just a miniature 2 ft. tree that I have on my desk. Normally I shun Christmas decor, but my mother shoved it at me at Thanksgiving because she knows I've always wanted a vintage aluminum one. They're expensive if in pristine condition and original box. And yes, a rotating color wheel is simply a must. One day I will procure such things, but I don't have a lot of storage space in my tiny penthouse pied-a-terre.

anyone ever had these? I sauntered down to my corner store to see if I could maybe get the last Twinkie or Fried Pie, and all the Hostess products were cleared off and these were in their place. I've never seen these before.
